129 The Beatitudes – Blessed Are They Who Hunger and Thirst for Righteousness

Today I continue reflecting on the Beatitudes: “Blessed are they who thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.” I welcome Ben Eriksen again (he joined us in the last episode already!), who was born and raised in Michigan, and is about to finish his doctorate degree in Philosophy at the Catholic University of America. Make sure you listen to this profound and clear explanation of the Beatitudes!
